– The use of VMT Simulation in Aircraft Maintenance Apprenticeship Training’
DATE: Wednesday 22 Feb 2017 8 pm
VENUE: Wynn’s Hotel, Dublin 1
SYNOPSIS:
Gregory Dunne is a Lecturer in Aviation Technology in the Dublin Institute of Technology. During his career, he has seen a dramatic shift in training methods from a pure theoretical level to an increased ‘hands-on’ approach to student development.
We have seen the proven ability of simulation to enhance pilot training. The introduction of maintenance scenario simulators is attempting to replicate its success as applied to the flying community. Gregory will explain how these simulators can be used to provide engineering students with a broad range of activities to improve their learning experience.
